Sulfur burps flared up today on Zepbound, help?

Ugh, woke up to those rotten egg burps for the first time in weeks and I'd almost forgotten how awful they are. Back when they hit early on I got some relief just from sipping ginger tea and eating way smaller portions, but I'm wondering what actually works for you all when they show up mid-journey like this. Is this something that tends to come and go, or once they flare do they usually stick around a while?

Mine came back around month four after I'd had a quiet stretch, and smaller meals were the only thing that touched it. Curious whether yours showed up after a heavier or fattier meal than usual.

Mine hit again around month four too, gone in a day or two. I stopped bothering with the tea and just ate plain crackers till it passed, which seemed to settle it faster for me.

Mine came back out of nowhere around month five too, and both times it was a short burst rather than a long stretch. The ginger tea thing never did much for me but plain water and staying upright after eating seemed to settle it faster.

#7

Mine came back after a quiet stretch too and was gone by the next evening. Curious whether yours hit on shot day or a couple days after, because timing seemed to matter for me

Mine popped back up around month four after nothing for ages, so yeah they seem to cycle. Did the smaller portions thing actually help you much when they hit, or was it mostly the ginger tea doing the work?
